President Donald Trump was captured wearing reading glasses – a look that he has seemingly avoided in public.

Trump, 79, was photographed with the glasses on while sitting in a motorcade SUV while leaving Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, after playing a round on Sunday.

A photographer based in Northern Virginia snapped the photos of Trump sporting black rim glasses and looking down while on the right backseat of the Chevrolet Suburban presidential vehicle.

The president also donned a cream Make America Great Again hat and a white golf shirt.

It is believed to be the first time Trump has been pictured wearing glasses during his second term.

Trump is the oldest US president to be elected to a second term and has downplayed his age.

The photographer, Northern Virginia Police Cars, posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday: ‘President Donald J. Trump departs Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia following a round of golf with CIA Director John Radcliffe and Senators Lindsey Graham, Rand Paul, and Eric Schmitt.’

Trump was reading the paper, according to the photographer.

In November 2019, The New York Times reported that Trump avoids wearing reading glasses in public and usually did not write his own tweets. Trump’s then-Whit House social media director, Dan Scavino, would draft tweets and enlarge them for the president to review and approve to publish, according to the newspaper.

Trump was last pictured wearing glasses in October 2017 as he left Trump National Golf Course, and prior to that in January 2016 while on the campaign trail in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
